Kerry Hampton Knives

Nice Black Jack, Kerry! Wonderful detailing!!
A Cattle knife would look cool dressed in those duds also.;)
 
You guys are the best! Thanks for all the positive vibage ;)

Oh, and Charlie....Moooo to you too. :D
 
I'm not a puss fellas :) It wasn't necessarily the snap or the stiffness. You have just a wee tiny bit of room to get your nail into that long pull on the master blade. If my nails were cut a little short, I couldn't open it. Not to mention when I was in the woods and my hands were waterlogged...fingernail would just bend back. But that's how we wanted the pattern. Reese had made a similar knife in the past but put the wharncliffe on the pile side with opposing nail nicks. It was easier to get to the blades, but neither of us thought it had the same look as the TJ.

This one is pretty easy to get to plus about the same load on the spring as yours after the redo. Reese's was basically a Jumbo Wharncliffe Trapper. Not pluggin...just showin ;) http://www.ebosshoss.com/tradeknives/bose/reese-bose-2-blade-lannys-clip-no-2-1099
 
I just came back to look at the T.J. again. I wouldn't have thought it possible, but it looks even better ! I've gone from wanting to own this knife to now needing one. Like, I REALLY NEED a knife just like this. Really !
Kerry, i'd like to bribe you; maybe an elk hunt in the Purcell Mountains ? or a furry playful Mountain Beaver adventure ?
or, just name it. I need a knife like this one; black, gray & silver, with Saber ground wicked Clip, Pen secondary . Please.

You from Tennessee? Because you're the only 10 I see!

I really like the makeover! The thin wharcliffe blade looks great!
 
Sweet knife, I really like the clip/warny combination. One of these days my pm box will be graced with Kerry's note and I too will be grinnin! Congrats to both Kerry and the lucky recipient. Steven

I was wondering what this would look like with a pen secondary too. Would it still work though - or would the nail nick have to be on the pile side? Or maybe a zulu spear as the secondary?

Oh yeah that works!!!! Note to self, no drooling on keyboards. Now if I ever get back to the top of Kerry's list maybe I can get one, soooo much envy, so little time. Steven
